Default truck marking its territory

help, every couple of days there will be a puddle under my truck, after a couple of weeks of searching I found a small drip hanging off the flexplate dust cover. Please tell me there is a drain plug on the converters on these. Is there anywhere a converter can leak from or will the stealer have to rip the tranny apart, it has an appointment tuesday but tommorow it is towing the boat to the lake.

What color of fluid? either the rear main seal or the trans input seal. Either way the trans has to be pulled

Sounds like you might have a seal leak, should be alright to tow with, but how big was that puddle under the truck

check your tranny lines and make sure they are tight. A friend @ the gym has a 2006 Mega cab that developed a leak like yours and he said it was the tranny lines not being tight all the way. tightened them up, leak gone...

he didn't say and i didn't ask, when they found it they said they thought it was the head gasket and where looking forward to tearing the engine down to fix it, that was all i needed to hear our local dodge dealer isn't known for there high quality mechanics
